Support bandages and casts are used to immobilize and stabilize limbs after various types of injuries that require appropriate immobilization. Depending on the type of injury, different types of support bandages/casts and different materials are used. Due to the increasing surgical treatment of fractures in children, we are observing a decline in the practical skills needed to properly apply supportive bandages, particularly plaster casts. In the following, the different materials of support bandages and their properties are presented as well as their corresponding indications.Stützverbände dienen der Ruhigstellung und Immobilisation von Gliedmaßen nach jeglicher Art von Verletzungen, die einer entsprechenden Immobilisation bedürfen. Je nach der Art der Verletzung kommen verschiedene Arten von Stützverbänden sowie auch verschiedene Materialien zum Einsatz. Aufgrund der zunehmend operativen Behandlung von Frakturen im Kindesalter beobachten wir einen rasanter Verlust der „handwerklichen“ Fähigkeit zur optimalen Applikation besonders von Gipsverbänden. Im Nachfolgenden sollen einerseits die verschiedenen Materialien von Stützverbänden und deren Eigenschaften dargestellt und andererseits auch die entsprechenden Indikationen aufgeführt werden.
